John Wickliffe Brings First Scottish Settlers

March 23rd, 1848 177 years ago

The ship John Wickliffe arrived at Port Chalmers carrying the first group of Scottish settlers bound for Dunedin, New Zealand. This settlement was part of a larger migration effort led by the Otago Committee aimed at establishing a colony in the Otago region. The settlers embarked on their journey seeking opportunities for a better life in a new land, and their arrival marked the foundation of Otago province.
